Use both styles of Get Info windows

Looks like Apple didn't remove the Inspector-style Get Info window from Mac OS X ... Hold option when bringing up the info pane, and it reverts to the 10.1 single-window method (which I sometimes prefer). Anyone know if this is documented anywhere?

[Editor: Yes, in Apple Help -- search on "Get Info" and select the "Getting information about files and folders" blurb. At the end it states, "If you want to see information for items in the same information window, press the Option key and choose Show Inspector from the File menu." When it doesn't lock up while loading, I've found the Apple Help system greatly improved in Jaguar.]
